Optimum + LC Pads Steps

[smartxtai]

I want to summarize and confirm what the correct steps are when using Optimum Compound (OC), Polish (OP), Poli-Seal (OPS) with Lake Country pads. This is based from what I`ve researched so far in the forum. I also have a couple of questions in parenthesis below.



Are the steps below the correct way to tackle a daily driven, lightly swirled w/ some medium scratches, car?



First start with

1. OPS + gray



If light swirls still visible

1. OPS + white

2. OPS + gray (is a gray pad necessary here before wax application?)



If light swirls still visible

1. OP + white

2. OPS + gray (is OPS still necessary here before wax application?)



For medium scratches

1. OC + white

2. OP + white

3. OPS + gray



If medium scratches still visible

1. OC + orange

2. OP + white

3. OPS + gray



In addition to the two questions in parenthesis above, do the above steps look correct?



Thanks in advance.
